Nicki Minaj has been all over the headlines this week, after announcing her on Twitter that she would be retiring and focusing her efforts on having a family.

Shortly after, Nicki's fanbase "The Barbz" responded by saying how hurt and shocked they were at the sudden decision, with one going as far to say "You never left us so hurt your entire career. We’re just hurting Nicki". In the aftermath, the rapper deleted her original tweet and reassured fans by saying she's "still right here".
